Measurements.
total length: 12.9–15.2; head length: 2.0–2.2; head width: 3.1–3.4; pronotal width: 7.7–9.3; abdominal width: 6.9–8.2; length of antennal segments. I: 0.7–0.8; II: 0.6; III: 1.9–2.1; IV: 2.6–2.9; V: 3.0–3.1; interocular distance: 1.7–1.9; scutellum length: 5.6–6.8; scutellum width: 4.7–5.3; pronotal length: 3.0–3.3.
Diagnosis.
Scutellum with light brown punctures but not on dark spots (
Fig. 19G
). Connexivum uniformly green (
Fig. 19G
). Pronotum with punctures light brown or concolorous. Cicatrices of pronotum with concolorous punctures delimiting anterior sulci. Anterolateral margin of pronotum not punctured. Scutellum with apex not punctured (
Fig. 19G
). Black spot on costal margin of corium reaching approximately 1/5 of corial extension. Dorsal surface of abdomen pale yellow with lateral margins of last two segments brown. Connexivum with few concolorous punctures (
Fig. 19G
). Male (
Fig. 10
A–C). Pygophore with dorsal rim shallowly excavated (
Fig. 10A
). Superior process of genital cup elliptic and narrow (
Fig. 10B
). Paramere large; anterior lobe triangular; posterior lobe triangular and slightly curved laterally (
Fig. 10A,B
). Proctiger with narrow, shallow lateral excavation; excavation setose, including wide ridge separating lateral excavations; posterior face rounded, flattened and coarsely rugose (
Fig. 10B
). Ventral rim central excavation widely open; expansions little developed, rounded, almost level with posterolateral angle in ventral view (
Fig. 10C
). Female (
Fig. 10D
). Gonocoxites 8 (gc8) with posterior margin arched; sutural border with distal half divergent in an open “U” (
Fig. 10D
). Gonapophyses 8 strongly exposed.
Comments.
Breddin (1904a)
considered
Edessa capito
close to
E. meditabunda
, but apex of scutellum and humeral angles in
E
.
meditabunda
are rounded (acute in
H
.
capito
) and arms of metasternal process are laterally flattened in
E
.
meditabunda
(tumid in
H. capito
). Among the species included in
H. triangularis
group,
H. capito
is the smallest one. The male is described here for the first time.
